With the kitchen Diner
fast reaching a point of completion and the prospect of a sunny weekend, I was
sent into the garden to do battle with the ever impregnable vastness of it.
Phew it has grown somewhat in the last month or so since I last took some
serious notice of it. So it was a good opportunity to test the newly
refurbished Steam Powered Strimmer, a device with a history of great fickleness
and the ability to sulk for days on end. But today it was in a chirpy mood
indeed and we set off in perfect harmony into the lush greenness of what was
once called a Lawn.
Now I was not really so
keen on this at the start of the day but was talked round with the prospect of
something exciting for our evening meal such as slow roasted Japanese
Godzilladom with crispy fried Welsh Dragon Scales and Wizards Balls. . . . NO
NO not those balls, this is a child friendly blog you lot, but truffles and
Saffron covered in the gold leaf and crushed fairy wings and sprinkled with
the unknown thoughts of the Jabberwocky and a bit of maple syrup. Followed by
Ice Cream covered in fresh Double Cream and Walnuts and a bit of Strawberry
Crumble. It’s one of those recipes from
that book . . . Fantastic Feasts and How to Eat Them . . . Written by that well known author . . . . . . . . . . Ah . . . . thingy. .
. what’s their name? Apparently it has been rewritten and all
those recipes for wizards like roast or barbecued beasts and dragons have been
removed as it was making small children cry. So the new book has no recipes and
its name has been changed a bit, and have you ever tried to buy fresh eye of
newt and wing of bat in Sainsbury’s, its not easy.
Anyway I have cut the
grass at the front today and if all goes well will set too on the jungle round
the back of the house tomorrow. . . . . AH yes that meal, well due to certain
issues and not actually having any Welsh Dragon Scales at present we had Pizza,
and the cat ate the fairy, I warned them not to flap those wings near the
cat. Still it was a rather tasty Bat
Wing Pizza with a bit of spiced Jabberwocky so I was quite happy.
I am well knackered though
so will go and chill for a while.
AH the cat has been sick .
. . . . . YUCK.
I love Welsh Dragon Scales, but it's annoying when they get stuck in your teeth. I'm not even going to go there about the Wizard's Balls...
ReplyDeleteThe Welsh like their Scales. . . . . In the same way Wizards like to play with their wands.

I spent not enough time yesterday dejungling my parking lot. By 'not' I mean I didn't get finished, not that I wanted to spend more time doing it. I only got 5 and a half hours sleep and I needed at least 8 for the difficult day ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the sleep Mr ESB. . . you need to chill and relax. . . . Me thinks you are doing tooooooo much You should take your wife and the dog on a few days holiday and potter about.
